Mangaluru, Feb 27: On the occasion of Catechism day, an awareness talk to the parents to motivate the children to face competitive exams and enter into civil service was organized on February 26, at Sacred Heart Church Surathkal.

Amline D Souza, the inspector, Commercial taxes, Mangaluru addressed the parents after the Sunday Eucharist in the church.

She in her address said, ”The methodology of competitive exams are quite different from the academic exams that children are facing. The questions framed in competitive exam papers are challenging because they aim at the holistic personality development. Since we the Christians have good foundation for such exams from the childhood itself, it is not impossible. Therefore parents must motivate children when they are small. Allow the children to take up responsibilities in their daily life. Train them to face challenges and make decisions in life, interfere into their decision making process only if it is necessary. Let the children manage their crisis. It helps them to mould their personality. This allows them to open up and face the future challenges, like these competitive exams”.

Amline D Souza was felicitated with a memento, shawl and flowers by Fr Austine Peter Peres the parish priest, Fr Richard D Souza , Russel Roche the vice president, Asha Pinto, the secretary of PPC and Norbert Misquith the convener of PPC commissions. Asha Pinto introduced the guest and compeered the programme.
